Used in medicine and culinary arts for over two thousand years in the Mediterranean, Borage (Borago officinialis) has long been known for its healing properties. In the last decade, Borage seed oil has become popular as a nutritional supplement, and has been the subject of nearly a dozen medical studies.
Borage oil is packed with the essential fatty acid omega-6. Omega-6 is a source of gamma linolenic acid (GLA), and borage oil is one of the richest known sources of GLA, containing a 25-30% concentration.
The body uses GLA to secrete prostaglandins, hormone-like substances that may become unbalanced during menopause of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). GLA is used for relief from PMS symptoms, regulation of a woman’s period, and alleviation of menopause symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings. GLA may even lower heart disease by preventing plaque from building up on artery walls.
Research shows that borage oil is also a powerful anti-inflammatory, and may be useful for:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
- Raynaud’s syndrome
- Atopic eczema
